"I understand now." Yun was very respectful of Xuan Kui; the master had always treated him well.
Lin Tianlan walked into the hall and saw Lin Yun return. He imdiately greeted him and said worriedly, "Yun'er, you're back. I'm no longer worried that Yang Xiao will harm you here."
"Dad." When Lin Yun saw how much his father cared for him, he felt reluctant to leave Yunfu Mansion and his father behind. But Lin Yun had no choice. He had agreed to beco Xuan Kui's apprentice, so he didn't regret his decision.
"Dad, I'll be leaving in another hour." Lin Yun didn't want to tell his father the truth but had no choice but to do so.
"Yun'er, where are you going? Why are you leaving in an hour?" Lin Tianlan's face changed. Lin Yun had only just returned from outside and now had to leave again. Lin Tianlan wanted to give him a surprise.
"The Netherworld," Lin Yun hesitated but had to speak the truth. Going to the Netherworld was the only path prepared for ditation. Even if he didn't go now, he would have to face the trials of Hell in a few days.
The Black Society! Could it be that the big societal test begins in just a few days? Why are you leaving today? Lin Tianlan grabbed Lin Yun's shoulders in agitation, struggling with his emotions.
"Priest, I'm being trained by a great one in the Dark World who broke the rules and accepted as his apprentice without undergoing trials. Without trials, I can still beco a disciple in the Dark World." Lin Yun spoke with excitent.
"Is that so? Could such an extraordinary thing really happen? Yun'er, you wouldn't lie to !" Lin Tianlan grabbed Lin Yun's shoulders again in excitent, unable to believe what he was hearing. How could the world allow such wonders?
"It's true, Dad. If you don't believe , I'll let you et my master." Seeing the joy on his father's face, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel happy as well. This glory was worth a lifeti of happiness for his father.
"Where is this great figure in the Dark World?" Lin Tianlan looked around excitedly, eager to et the revered individual.
"Dad, there's no need to look for him. My master is in the pavilion outside." Lin Yun was so elated that he seed to lose himself in excitent, laughing but unable to speak properly.
Lin Tianlan rushed out in eagerness, quickly saying, "Can he cool down the noble figures residing in the pavilion's darkness?"
"Dad, my master is an unusual individual. He doesn't like crowds, so just let him stay in the pavilion. Just sneak a glance at him; that will be enough." Lin Yun gestured towards the pavilion's entrance where Xuan Kui sat. Perhaps Lin Tianlan could greet him, but Lin Yun worried that Xuan Kui might beco displeased. The master's unpredictable temper was hard for Lin Yun to anticipate.
Lin Tianlan saw Xuan Kui sitting motionless in the pavilion, eyes closed and as still as a statue. Not wanting to disturb him, he reluctantly nodded, "Yun'er is right. I don't want to risk offending such a high-ranking individual."
"Dad, there's one more thing I want to tell you. The Yang Family has agreed to transfer ownership of Yang's favorite businesses to the Lin Family. They'll also hand over Yang's operating licenses to us. From now on, Yang's favored enterprises will be managed under our Lin Family. You don't need to worry about the Yang Family plotting against us anymore." Lin Yun handed an agreent docunt from Yang's business to his father.
"Yun'er, are you joking? The Yang Family has always treated our Lin Family as a major business rival. How could they willingly beco a subordinate enterprise under the Lin Family?" Lin Tianlan spoke with disbelief. For a long ti, the Yang Family had been at odds with the Lin Family, even damaging Lin's reputation. Why would they suddenly choose to beco subordinate? It made no logical sense. Lin Tianlan suspected Lin Yun was joking, but the docunt in his hand was undeniably authentic.
"I'm not joking. I negotiated this exchange on behalf of the Zen Master's disciple. Let's say they accepted a significant deal—one offering a place exclusive to the Zen Master's disciple, a deal beyond monetary calculation." Lin Yun explained. Lin Tianlan suddenly understood, tears welling up in his eyes, and said, "Yun'er, you made this sacrifice for your father's sake. Ah, Yun'er, I'm afraid of what might happen to after you leave. What if the Yang Family humiliates ?"
Lin Yun scratched the back of his head and laughed sheepishly, but couldn't hide his emotions from his father.
As Lin Tianlan held Lin Yun tightly, he was overwheld with gratitude, feeling that God had blessed him with such a remarkable son—the greatest gift of his life.
The short ti left was precious, and the father and son cherished every mont. They bathed together, shared dinner, and finally, Lin Tianlan gave Lin Yun a cherished ring that once belonged to Lin Yun's mother, entrusting it to him. The ring was simple in design but made of fine crystal stone, radiating elegance and value.
As one hour passed, Xuan Kui said, "Ti is up; we have to leave now."
Though his voice was gentle, it reverberated throughout Yunfu Mansion.
Lin Yun wanted to stay a bit longer, but Xuan Kui said nothing and insisted they leave quickly. This departure was abrupt and urgent.
Regretfully, Lin Yun had to bid his father farewell. Despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to leave Yunfu Mansion for the mysterious realm. He had great aspirations and could not rely on his father's support forever. He needed to learn independence and grow on his own.
As he left, Lin Yun dared not look back at his father. He was filled with sorrow and hesitation but had to move forward.
Xuan Kui grabbed Lin Yun and ascended into the sky with him. This ti, they soared to a height of 10,000 ters. The taphysical realm lay in the Upper Realm, 90,000 miles away from Earth, establishing the divide between heaven and earth, the Upper Realm and Lower Realm.
After reaching 10,000 ters, Xuan Kui accelerated their flight. It took only minutes for them to arrive in Xuan Kui's domain. For Xuan Kui, traversing 90,000 miles was trivial.
This was Lin Yun's first visit to the taphysical realm. The wonders of this world were a revelation for him.
Lin Yun had countless questions but couldn't speak because of the turbulent airflow and intense pressure during flight. His curiosity about the Dark World grew stronger, driving his thoughts.
At a height of 90,000 miles, an endless and sprawling continent appeared before them. The mountains and rivers on the continent resembled those in the Lower Realm but were far more magnificent and stunning.
"So beautiful." Yun Lan followed Xuan Kui as they traversed between mountains and water, surrounded by breathtaking scenery that filled Yun Lan's spirit with vitality. He couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling utterly refreshed.
"Of course, this is a place foreign to ordinary people. Is such scenery truly beautiful to you?" Xuan Kui humd a tune indifferently, thinking Yun Yun looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen such a world.
"You spend every day here, so naturally, it seems normal to you. But it's my first ti here, so it's only natural for to find it beautiful. Isn't that ordinary?" Lin Yun tried to defend himself, though his argunts were weak.
Xuan Kui scoffed coldly and significantly increased their flying speed. In an instant, they traveled thousands of miles forward. Such rapid movent blurred the scenery below, leaving Lin Yun with only fleeting glimpses of the landscape. He quietly thought to himself that Xuan Kui deliberately wanted to prevent him from enjoying the view, which was why he flew so quickly.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles, they entered a mountainous area stretching thousands of miles. At the entrance to the mountain was an abundant flow of spiritual energy. Two guards stood at the mountain's gate, appearing to be around seventeen years old and exceptionally refined in appearance. Upon seeing Xuan Kui return, they imdiately ca forward respectfully and said, "Star Lord, you've returned."
Star Lord? Lin Yun looked at Xuan Kui with a strange expression—was he really the Star Lord? Could it be that the Star Lord was the ruler of this domain? Xuan Kui had previously ntioned he led a great team, and now Lin Yun's thoughts connected these pieces of information.
